ATHERSTONE Town bagged an excellent three points at Rothwell to complete their away programme in winning style at Cecil Street.

Dale Belford’s young battlers rattled the Bones early on with Simeon Smith firing them ahead on six minutes before Luke Keen stretched their advantage just before the half hour while Stuart Hendrie looked to sealed the victory seven minutes from time.

And though Rothwell came back determinedly in the dying throes to score twice with Robbie Maddox and Martin Blakey breaching the Adders’ rearguard, the Sheepy Roaders held out somewhat nervously to secure their seventh away league victory of the season.
